Moran pitched poorly but after he departed, the game later became tied. After he departs (or once the next pitcher throws a pitch) if the game becomes tied, or his team takes the lead, he is no longer the pitcher of record.
Takaki gave up the "winning" run. It was a tie ball game and he gave up the run that gave Ladera the lead for good. Hunt was the pitcher for Ladera when they scored their sixth run so it is now his win.
Ladera already had the lead when Yamaguchi and Muto pitched and this lead was not relinquished so they could not get the win.
Hope this helps.
So essentially the pitchers who are "on the mound" when the winning team takes the lead for the last time gets the decision. The exception (that I know of) being a starting pitcher must pitch 5 innings to be considered for the win.
